FAN-TAN BOARD

The gambler places his money on one
side or corner, betting upon one of the
numbers or upon a combination of num-
beers. In the former case, should he be
successful, he receives three times the
amount of his stake, less about ~ per cent
commission for the hank. Should either
of the numbers upon the corner or com
binatiOn of which he has made his wager
win he receives his stake, minus the same
commission.
There are no cards or wheel, hut a pile
of small round coppers, having a little
suuare hole in the centre of each and called
cash. A handful is taken and placed in
the centre of the table under n inverted
bowl. When all bets have been made the
proprietor of the bank removes the bowl
and carefully takes from the pile four cash
then -four more; then four more, and so on
until four. three two or only one is left,
which is the winning number.
1t is a most tedious game, for the central
pile must be so large that the number OF
cash which it contains cannot I've told, and
the process Of drawing them ont by fours
takes considerable time. But the poor
Chinese, who nave staked their all upon
one OF the numbers, hang over the table
and watch that gradually diminishing pile
intensely fascinated. Having won, they
try again, until they have at last lost.
Losing, they go of to be-, borrow or steal
more capital with which to try their for
tune once again.

The Man that Beat Bayard.
Philadelphia lines.

Gov. Brigg, of Delaware, the "plowboy'
candidate who routed the Bayard faction
at the last election, is staying at the Ocean
Hotel. | ran across him this morning as
he was watching the shower from a dry
nook OH the veranda. Naturally the con-
versation turned on Secretary Bayard.
'He made the mistake of his life" said
the Governor, when he went into Mr..
Cleveland's Cabinet. He is not the sort OF
a man to occupy an executive position or
to be placed where he has to keep in mind
constantly the fact that we are all sons OF
Adam, and stand on equal ground. II
you chance to meet Mr.. Bayard when he
is in a good humOr, all goes well and good;
but no man cares to he snubbed because
the person he honors with a visit happens
to be out of sorts. 1 believe that Mr.. Bay
are honestly means to retire from political
life at the end of his present term. If he
had cut il short at the Senate he would
have been a much larger figure in the poll
tics Of the country"

Cameron's Secret of Success
Int.rrietr in Philadelphia Pres


"People always said OF me when ! was
in active politics that Cameron was q boss;
that no mar could be a candidate for Office
unless Cameron first selected him and gave
him permission to run. This impression
became so strong that aspirants for politi-
cal preferment would con TO me months
before the primaries or nominating onven
tions and ask ifthey migkt have the Office
they sought, believing that my word of
support was equivalent To au election.
1t wasn't anything of the kind,
you know. l invariably answered
such questions by asking the candidate {:
What is your strength or How many
delegates can you count On?' Show me
your figures and then I can tell whether !
can afford to support you This would
say to all who came. Then when found
the man who was pretty sure to win with
the little support l could give him, he was
made the Cameron candidate. l got all
the credit for the victory, and the candi-
date himself believed himself that his sue
cess was entirely attributable to me. The
truth of the matter always was that the
candidate had the popular strength with
him, and without that | wouldn't and
couldn't have been of much service"

Waterproof cloaks have grown up with

only the thick, shiny, black ones were
known. They were heavy, warm, and
not pleasant "a to odor. And on rainy
days the streets were made melancholy by
a procession Of ladies who looked like
cowled monks and felt like imprisoned
birds. Some of the exceedingly vain and
primpy order of my sex refused to wear
them at all, and either went without or re-
manned indoors until the mists had
cleared away" Now all that is changed.

That the indianapolis team sadly needs

The report that Hubbard, the college
pitcher, who pitched for the Michigan Uni

infielder who has the ability to captain the
team in proper style.
The report was received late last night
that Ed. Morris, the l~eit-handed pitcher
had been released to New York. Both the
New York and PittsbuTg clubs have, a:

and nothing could be learned as to what
had been paid for the twirler. 1t is said
however, that the transaction has nothing
to do with the Ward matter.
